| Can I order FirstCry to the UK? | Yes, through a free Indian address. Order on FirstCry's Indian site to your India Rabbit address at our warehouse in Kerala, as a customer in India, and we forward it. If FirstCry delivers to your address itself, compare its price first. |
|---|---|
| How? | Sign up free, use your Indian address and suite code at checkout, and ask us to ship when your parcels have arrived. Each parcel is photographed on arrival and held free for 30 days. |
| What does it cost? | From India to the UK, a 1 kg parcel starts at ₹2,000 (about GBP 15.7), and the rate per kilo falls as the box fills: about ₹1,260 (about GBP 9.9) per kg for a 5 kg box and ₹820 (about GBP 6.4) per kg for 20 kg, on Economy, with GST and payment charges included. We charge in rupees; the GBP figures are approximate, at this week's exchange rate. |
| How long? | Typically 4 to 10 business days after the box leaves Kerala, plus customs clearance. |
| What cannot be sent? | Perfume and sprays, nail polish, aerosols, anything with a battery, phones and laptops, real gold, silver and diamond jewellery, incense and camphor. See the list |
What the UK does not stock
Indian festival and ceremony clothes in children's sizes, Indian-language picture and alphabet books, and Indian baby-care brands. British Indian shops carry some, at an importer's price and in a narrow range.
Small appliances work here
The UK runs on 230V, as India does, so a FirstCry bottle warmer or steriliser works with a plug adapter. No transformer is needed.
How it works
Add your India Rabbit address in Kerala to your FirstCry India account and order as a domestic customer. We photograph each parcel, hold it free for 30 days and send the lot to you in one box. UK VAT applies to low-value parcels, so we declare values accurately; the carrier collects VAT before delivery.
Order early for Christmas
December is the slowest month on every international route. If a child's outfit is for Christmas Day, have the box leave our warehouse in Kerala by mid-November.
Costs and transit to United Kingdom
Typical transit is 4 to 10 business days from the day your consolidated box leaves our Kerala warehouse, plus clearance at your end. Parcels are held free for 30 days each while you finish ordering.

FirstCry to United Kingdom — questions
Does FirstCry India deliver to the UK?
That can vary and change, so check at checkout. Where it will not, order to your free Indian address and we forward it to you anywhere in the UK.
Will a FirstCry India bottle warmer work in the UK?
Yes, with a plug adapter. Both countries run on 230V.
Will I pay VAT on a FirstCry order to the UK?
Usually, yes. VAT is charged by HMRC on imported goods and collected by the carrier before delivery. It is separate from our shipping charge.
